Set of 2 ACTO Aerosols Special WASPS HORNETS - Special Kit for Roofs and Loft Spaces

The Set of 2 ACTO Aerosols Special WASPS HORNETS - Special Kit for Roofs and Loft Spaces (Reference: GUEP008X2) is the benchmark professional solution for eliminating wasp and hornet nests. Made in France by the ACTO brand, this double kit gives optimal coverage for treating large infestations or several areas at risk.

Benefits and specific use cases

This kit of 2 ACTO aerosols meets the needs of private owners of houses with loft spaces, building managers, construction firms and pest control professionals. It is particularly effective for treating nests located in loft spaces, closets under the eaves, service ducts, suspended ceilings, roof voids and corners that are hard to reach.

Wasps and hornets frequently establish their colonies in these confined, dark spaces, creating a real danger for the occupants. This kit allows a safe intervention from a distance thanks to its innovative delivery system, avoiding direct contact with aggressive insects.

Technical innovation and synergistic formulation

The strength of this ACTO product lies in its three-part knockdown formula made up of tetramethrin, (1R)-trans-phenothrin and piperonyl butoxide. This synergy of active substances causes immediate paralysis of the insects, followed by their definitive elimination.

The special diffuser with patented tri-directional extension tube is the product's main innovation. This system makes it possible to reach the most remote nests with remarkable precision while keeping an optimal safety distance. The tri-directional technology ensures even delivery of the active product in all directions, guaranteeing effective treatment even on large colonies.

The French manufacture guarantees compliance with the strictest European standards on the safety and effectiveness of biocidal products.

Method of use and precautions

Before any intervention, locate the nest precisely and plan your approach. Wear covering protective clothing, gloves and a mask. Preferably work at the end of the day or at dusk, when the insects are less active.

Fit the extension tube to the diffuser and approach the nest to a distance of 1 to 2 metres. Aim the jet directly at the entrance of the nest and spray in short bursts of 3 to 5 seconds. The fast-acting formula quickly neutralises the guard insects and penetrates the structure of the nest effectively.

Wait 24 to 48 hours before checking how well the treatment has worked. In the case of a large nest or of resistance, repeat the operation with the second aerosol in the kit. Once the insects have been completely eliminated, remove the empty nest to prevent any recolonisation.

Expert advice and intervention strategies

To get the most out of the treatment, watch the activity of the insects for several days before intervening. Identify the preferred flight paths and the activity peaks in order to choose the best moment.

This kit works perfectly alongside ACTO wasp traps for an overall protection strategy. Set the traps around a preventive perimeter from the spring onwards to limit the risk of nest building. Complete your armoury with natural repellents such as citronella or geranium essential oils to discourage new colonies from settling.

Professionals recommend building up a safety stock of several kits, particularly for building managers or for firms whose employees are exposed to the risk of stings. The critical period runs from May to October, with a peak of aggressiveness in August and September, when the colonies reach their maximum size.

Avoid working in windy weather, which can disperse the product and reduce its effectiveness. Never use water to put out a nest, nor blunt tools, which could provoke a mass attack by the colony.
